3 Claims.

f My invention relatesto improvements in neckies.

It is an important object of my invention to provide a necktie which incorporates a lining and other features in such a way that the lining is prevented from twisting or turning when the tie is washed or cleaned, the lining lying at all times flat and smooth within the body of the tie. It is also an important object of my invention to provide a process or method of constructing a tie to have the advantages and features stated above as well as those to be stated below.

It is also an important object of my invention to provide a necktie which embodies tips of the same material as that of which the cover or outside material of the tie is made, so as to give the completed tie a neat and finished appearance.

It is also an important object of my invention to provide a washable necktie of this type which can be washed and pressed an indefinite number of times without impairing the appearance thereof, and to provide such a washable tie with a lining, whereby to provide a neat, attractive and very inexpensive lined washable necktie.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description in connection with the drawings, wherein for purposes of illustration I have shown a preferred embodiment of the invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the finished tie.

Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the reverse side of the tie.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken approximately on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a View of the reverse side of the embodiment as the first steps in the making of the tie have been completed.

Figure 5 is a View similar to Figure 4, except that the construction has been turned inside out.

Figure 6 is a longitudinal sectional view approximately on the line 6-6 of Figure 5.

Figure '7 is a transverse sectional view approximately on the line 7-7 of Figure 5.

In the drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout the same, the numeral 5 designates generally the embodiment of the invention described herein, the numeral 6 refers to the outside or covering of the tie, the numeral 7 to the reverse side or lining of the tie, the numeral 8 to the added tip at the wide end of the tie, and the numeral 9 refers to the added tip at the narrow end of the tie.

It will be seen that the covering 6 and the lining 7 are made of the same width and that the 1932, Serial No. 599,301

lining is of a length to extend approximately between the places where the pointed ends of the covering commence. the covering 6 will be of washable material, and the lining of some material similar to cotton of a washable character. In the case of a nonwashable tie, the covering 6 may be of any desirable material, and the lining 7 may be of wool or other desirable material.

In the form illustrated in Figure 4, which is constructed by laying the lining 7 upon the face side of the covering and stitching the liningvand covering together at one edge as indicated at 10, the lining '7 stops short of the tip of the covering 6 at 11 at the wide end of the tie, and at 12 at the narrow end of the tie. Tip portions 8 and 9, respectively, of the same material as the covering, are stitched at the edges to the covering and to the lining as indicated at 13 and 14 in the case of the tip portion 8. The tip portion 9 is identically constructed.

When the construction shown in Figure 4 and just described has been completed, the whole is turned inside out and the free edges of the lining and or" the covering sewed together as illustrated in Figure 5, the tip portions 8 and 9 of the same material as the covering 6 then appearing at the back of the tie, and in continuation of the lining 7. The sectional view in Figure 6 illustrates this structure, wherein the tip portion has the inturned seam indicated at 15, which extends around the edges of the tip portion 8 as well as on one side of the joined covering and lining. Reference to the cross sectional view of Figure '7 will disclose stitching 16 which is provided to hold together the open side of the tie form after it has been turned inside out. This stitching 16 operates to make a closed tube of the lining and covering and the tips.

In the case of a wash tie The marginal portions of the closed tubular form thus completed are then folded over and the edges hand tacked at intervals of about one inch more or less along the entire length of the back of the tie as indicated at 17.

When the construction of the tie has reached this stage blind stitches 18 are placed through the front of the tie at about one half inch more or less intervals of the length thereof so as to connect the covering and lining. These blind stitches function to prevent the cotton or alpaca lining from twisting or turning when the tie is being washed or cleaned or pressed, thus making it impossible for the lining '7 to lie in any position except properly fiat with respect to the covering 6.

One of the advantages of constructing the tie with the covering inside out, and then turning the same right side out, is that when the covering turned right side out there results a turned seam which acts like taping. When the tie is pulled out of shape, this turned seam, acting like taping, resists the pulling out of shape, and when the pulling is relaxed, tends to restore the tie into shape again. Overcast stitches are not necessary in the construction of my improved tie, thereby providing for a neater and more acceptable tie.

Thus it will be understood that I have provided a non-washable or a washable tie of low cost, which presents a neat appearance, is rugged and enduring in construction and is simple and easy to manufacture, and will stand repeated washings or cleanings.

Though I have shown and described herein a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of my invention thereto, but any change or changes may be made in material and structure and arrangement of parts, or in the steps of the method of process, without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.

What is claimed is:--

1. A method of making a necktie comprising providing a covering, a lining coextensive with the covering between the tip portions thereof, then superposing the lining on the face side of the covering and sewing it to the covering at one longitudinal edge only, then sewing to the lining at each end and to the tip portions of the covering a tip made of the material of the covering, then turing the resultant form inside out whereby to form a turned in seam at said edge, and sewing the free longitudinal edges of the lining and covering together to form a completely closed tube, then folding this tube into the form of the tie and securing together the free longitudinal edges so as to form an open tubular tie form.

2. A necktie comprising a covering having pointed ends, a lining co-extensive with that portion of the covering which lies between the pointed ends, tips of covering material secured to the ends of the lining and to the pointed ends of the covering, sewing connecting the edges of the covering and lining together at one longitudinal side, the sewed edges being inturned so as to provide an inturned seam, said tips being co-extensive with and sewed at the edges to the pointed ends and to the ends of the lining, sewing securing the edges along the other longitudinal side of the covering and lining together so as to form a hat closed tube, the longitudinal marginal portions of the closed tube being overlapped, spaced stitchings securing the marginal portions together and providing an open-ended tubular form, and spaced blind stitchings passing through the front of the open-ended tubular form and connecting the covering and the lining for preventing movement of the lining relative to the covering.

3. A method of making a necktie, said method consisting of forming a covering having a triangularly shaped tip portion at each end and a lining coextensive with that portion of the covering which lies between the tip portions, then superposing the lining on the face side of the covering between said tip portions and sewing the lining and covering together at one longitudinal edge only, then sewing to each end of said lining and to the adjacent tip portion a tip, then turning the resultant form inside out whereby to form a turned in seam at the already sewed longitudinal edges thereof, then sewing together the remaining longitudinal edges of the lining and covering whereby to form a closed fiat tube, then folding marginal portions of this tube onto one side of the tube to produce the final shape of the tie, and then securing said marginal portions together so as to produce an open ended tubular tie form.
